Webers (Sakhalin Energy) H.A.N. Subhi (Sakhalin Energy) & T. Abbis (Shell International & Exploration BV) SUMMARY This paper will look at how completion design has impacted Sakhalin Energy’s Lunskoye gas field development. Sand failure prediction together with sand rate quantification was used for the first time during completion selection. The results predicted that unmanageable sand volumes would occur upon start-up for open hole completions with pre-drilled liners. This led
